The many boys prep hockey holiday tournaments throughout the region made for tons of exciting action over the last seven days.
Holiday tournaments always have an added layer of importance with multiple teams in one area at one time, which makes life much easier for college coaches, scouts and prep hockey fans.
There were some familiar faces that dominated over the past week, while some new names emerged.
Here's a complete look at the top performers in prep hockey over the last seven days.
Holt
Top skater:Â Anthony Lombardo, Hebron
Hebron had a whopping five games over the past week. The one constant was the production of Lombardo, who posted six goals and three assists. He notched a hat trick in a 6-1 win over Kents Hill, as well as a three-point game against New Hampton. Even in Hebron's two losses, Lombardo scored a goal in one and added a helper in the other. He has seven goals and 14 points in 11 games this season.

Housatonic
Top skater:Â Joe Connor, Avon Old Farms
Ho hum. Another one of these for Connor. The Northeastern commit notched four goals and four assists during the Avon Old Farms Christmas Classic, which the home team won. That was in large part thanks to Connor's contributions. He had matching two-goal games in wins over Tabor and St. Paul's. The Amherst, N.H., native ranks second in the region in points with 18 points in nine games. Is that good?

After shutting out Deerfield with 23 saves, the Needham, Mass., native got his squad to tie Salisbury, 1-1, with 40 saves and beat Kimball Union, 3-1, to win the tournament with 32. His huge saves down the stretch were the only reason Milton escaped with a tie against Salisbury and a spot in the championship. He won tournament MVP.

Lakes
Top skater:Â Christian Day, New Hampton
In a week in which New Hampton won three of its five games, Day was the top producer in all three of the wins.

Holahan was a big reason as to why Brunswick took down St. Sebastian's to win the Kevin Mutch Christmas Tournament.
